UFCThe Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is a U.S.-based mixed martial arts organization, recognized as the largest MMA promotion in the world. The UFC is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is owned and operated by Zuffa, LLC. This promotion is responsible for solidifying the sport's postion in the history-books.
UFC is currently undergoing a remarkable surge in popularity, along with greater mainstream media coverage. UFC programming can now be seen on FOX, FX, and FUEL TV in the United States, as well as in 35 other countries worldwide.

Oh boy! You know you're great when the UFC is forcing your champ to go against fighters in higher weight classes; Kenflo, Edgar, and now Pettis.

Very tough battle for Aldo. This is the first fighter he'll face who's more powerful with a wider arsenal. If Aldo didn't tire out he'd have a better chance. I'd say 60/40 Pettis due to his length, reach advantage, good cardio (at 155 at least), and superb fire power.

Keys for Pettis
- Pettis has the ability to switch stance to nullify leg attacks in case one of his lead legs gets battered
- multiple disciplines to confuse his opponents (people say Cerrone wasn't in shape. It's not true. He didn't know how to react to the change of stance and the attacks that came from it; cartwheel kick, flying knee, and of course the left kick from south paw stance.)
- surprise attacks that nobody has seen
- speed and power

Keys for Aldo
- powerful leg kicks which is always a threat against anyone
- quicker
- it's his weight class so he's comfortable
- excellent training partners who can simulate Pettis (Basically Anderson. Anderson helped Wand in his fight against Cung and it really showed. Cung's kicks were ineffective more or less due to distance and preparation.)

I really wanted to see Pettis be crowned as the 155 king pin...not so much at 145 cuz that means somebody is gonna have to lose.

Wow. I can't believe they have made this happen. When I read that Pettis wanted the fight I thought it would be fun but didn't really take it seriously as they are in different weight divisions and Pettis is already a top contender at 155.

I know its early but this one has already got to be candidate for FOTY. I normally don't get too hyped for the lower weight fights but this one has high level fireworks written all over it.
